Two transactions: One for Expenses and one for Income. Still very easy to deal with. I do close my books just so that the Expense and Income accounts on the accounts tab will reflect the YTD amounts rather than LTD. If you do have to make a change to a prior year, it is easy to delete the affected pair of transactions and re-close that particular year. To me, it is cleaner. To each their own. > > On Wed, Mar 4, 2020 at 11:52 AM Fred Bone <fred.b...@dial.pipex.com> wrote: > >> On 03 March 2020 at 17:50, Uttam Chakravorty said: >> >>>> 1.
